one positive...it looks like BDL-PIT could still be successful. Don't know why DL hasn't jumped in there like they did to CLE-BDL. I’m still not sure why DL even continues to fly CLE-BDL. A quick glance at this week, for example, shows a 38% load factor on its best day, and an average of more like ...

On my last flight between ORD-CLE, there were several ExpressJet employees traveling non-rev on an AA flight. It sounds like one of the aspects of United purchasing ExpressJet from SkyWest means several redeployments back into CLE, and the staff that were conversing about it seemed very pleased to b...

Crain's Cleveland article regarding the upgauging of UA CAK-IAH: https://www.crainscleveland.com/transportation/united-airlines-boost-capacity-akron-canton-airport-route-houston I am surprised that AA hasn't yet added CAK-DFW nonstop service since CAK is one of the few U.S. destinations with nonsto...

Any way you slice it, UAL has a pretty pathetic offering from CLE. I was looking at MCO flights last week and saw they only have one a day. ONE. Anything Delta adds/replaces is welcome as their product is superior to United's anyway. I think it's time to accept that UAL's gone for good and finally ...

^Wow---that's great news! DL is preferable to UA anyway as its a higher quality of service (in any class). What kind of equipment will DL use? Will it be mainline or regional? According to USA Today, DL will use E175s: https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2018/12/10/delta-new-flights-route...

Don't think it's been mentioned by anyone, but UA is cutting its flights to CLE as of March 7, 2019. UA has come to a point in BOS, where it's cutting flights to focus cities, doesn't look too good. Wonder if we will see DL try to enter CLE from BOS? I'm not certain that UA views CLE as a focus cit...

On SWA, it is what it is. At least we picked up MKE, STL, ATL in the past few years. While the UA adds are nothing to be overjoyed about, they do show two things: 1) Someone at UA is looking at how they can make more $ at CLE. They didn't have to add these flights and 2) UA's approach to these extr...

I didn’t realize it but delta has upped the size of planes on the LGA route. No more crj 700s. It’s all crj 900s and emb 175s— at least right now. It’s only a dozen or seats more on each flight compared to a 700 but it’s something to indicate success. And DL has better fleet planning / scope than U...

DL is using a few gates every night in A concourse plus a few planes RON outside of the B gates. I know SLC and I think one ATL park at A. What's the long term solution for them w.r.t. gates? It can't be good operationally to be spread over two concourses. I realize they are not that far apart, but...

Great news for ERI, my home town airport! Was surprised to see that AA will serve ORD, since UA already flies that route. I understand Chicago is an AA hub, but two airlines serving the same small city with similar routes is a bit strange. I'd say that they want to connect ERI to more of their netw...

Anyone know what this could be? Looks like the airport is constructing something outdoors in conjunction with Destination Cleveland. https://twitter.com/goingplacesCLE/status/1041776702781841408 Mural? Indeed. http://www.crainscleveland.com/government/airport-artwork-will-highlight-clevelands-lands...

^If this were to be the case, I'd like to see AS enter the CLE market with a splash: CLE-SEA CLE-PDX CLE-SAN PDX and SEA are both seasonal offerings by Frontier... I think if AS enters either of those markets, F9 would exit them... which wouldn't be that bad since AS would likely be at least a once...

Is each city pair specific to one airline? Yes, and (theoretically) the government traveler is not supposed to switch carriers without the permission of the ticket-issuing office. These fares can also be used by non-govt people who are travelling under invitational travel orders. For example, if yo...

87, 94, 115 are big increases in the number of city pair each year. Did other cities increase that much as well? Also, is there consideration for non-stops? Say, CLE-XXX is offered non-stop on UA and they offer a price of $110, but DL is not non-stop, but offer GSA a price of $80, does DL automatic...

PIT-CDG to be axed. Must have some relevance for people from NEO travelling through for direct connections to Europe/beyond? I almost guarantee Delta is looking to move the flt to either CLE or CMH or both ! They also cut EWR-CDG , hopes up ! Word is that CMH-->AMS is a potential replacement. Altho...

The last of the legacy AA S-80s are being retired today. Among them are #'s 424, 425, and 426. They were delivered in 1986 and are believed the oldest A/C in operation by a major carrier. They have almost 89,000 hours and almost 49,000 cycles. They are "green cockpit" airplanes. They will...

If you're looking for a classy place to bring a date this month: The concourse at BKL--a fundraiser for the Women's air and space museum there, on the eve of the National Air Show: "Aug. 31 - Corks in the Concourse Come down and help us celebrate our 20th anniversary of being located in Clevel...

If Youngstown can't hold service, I'm going to guess Portsmouth can't either. I didn't even know there was a Portsmouth in Ohio. I do agree that Portsmouth is unlikely to get service in this type of air travel climate. Youngstown had some challenges inasmuch as it is 75 miles to CLE or PIT and 63 m...

I think the terminal facilities at PIT vs CLE are a very good representation of the different leadership styles at the two airports. PIT is investing in a new and modern terminal facility that will be on the same (or greater) level as facilities including IND/CVG/AUS/MSY/etc. In stark contrast, CLE...

10 years ago, I was actually expecting more competition on CLE-DFW/DAL subsequent to the repeal of the Wright Amendment on October 23, 2014 than is the case today, with AA and CO both serving DFW nonstop from CLE and with WN serving DAL nonstop from CLE. However, UA merged with CO, WN merged with F...

Will WN ever add CLE-DAL nonstop service? DFW is one of the top destinations from CLE, but most of the passengers who are flying to DFW are choosing to do so on AA over WN or UA due to AA having nonstop service to DFW. CLE can support nonstop service to DAL on WN since UA no longer serves DFW nonst...

As a regular AA flyer, I am perfectly fine with non mainline. The E175 and CR7/9 are better than the a319. The overall awfulness of the AA 319s (LUS and LAA) cannot be overstated. Absolutely correct. It's not even a contest; maybe the older CR7s are only slightly better than the A319, but the E175 ...

AA could upgauge CVG-ORD, CVG-CLT, CVG-PHL, CMH-ORD, CMH-CLT, CMH-PHL, CLE-ORD, and SDF-CLT to mainline. I would be surprised if any CLE-ORD would ever be upgraded in the near future. UA still has quite the stranglehold on pulling people to ORD for their other destinations... if AA upgauged, the fr...

Don’t think this was posted yet, but this is a neat video from February on the team at United’s CLE maintenance base. They were the winners of the 2017 Aerospace Maintenance Competition: https://youtu.be/0C2d3QSIDEY I wonder if this was why Oscar Munoz was in Cleveland yesterday hanging with the CL...

Both the PD and Crains Cleveland reported that first quarter 2018 traffic was up about 200K, from 1.9 million to 2.1 million, about 10%. If that rate, slightly under January by itself, holds, CLE could hit 10 million a year ahead of Kennedy's forecast. No wonder the parking lots are crowded - it's ...

Who would argue that besides the dolt who decided 1 parking structure was good enough for a major airport? That's... bat S crazy. You might as well say "we'd have plenty of parking if it wasn't for all these travellers!" Now if they said "we're raising it 2$ to fund a new parking gar...

I am curious how much increased revenue this will provide. I would be more supportive if we had some guarantees it would bring additional service, but I am skeptical of that claim. I used to park at the Brookpark rapid station and take the train in, but I haven't done that since my car was broken in...

Flew DEN to CLE on Southwest yesterday and had some time to walk around Hopkins. A couple things I noticed: - Concourse B now has updated signage (black with white lettering similar to ticketing and baggage claim). - Gate C28 is now the home of United's Customer Service desk (I think this is new). ...

^Don't quite get the name of that place, but as I love barbecue, can't wait to try it. They have locations in Macedonia and Maple Heights... I haven't eaten at those, but I have from their food truck. It was very good, and one of the few places in Northeast Ohio I got a crawfish etouffee that was h...

DoT's January numbers are out. CLE boardings (domestic scheduled carriers only) up from 277.8K in Jan '17 to 313.0K this year - up 12.7%. Star performer: WN boardings up from 42.7K to 56.6K, up 32.6% with the load factor also up from 74.7% to 77.9% WN needs to make CLE a focus city. Like now. Lol H...

Just looking for BOS-CLE flights. Thought only B6 and UA were on this route but saw Spirit as well---is this new? They've been on that route for a little while now... my wife will be flying it in June, so I'm going to get a report from her. I haven't flown Spirit from CLE since a DFW to CLE flight ...

Interesting point I can see where you are coming from, in that WN is more likely to keep the route than UA. But wouldn't most business travelers prefer UA over WN? Maybe from a miles earning perspective or something? UA's product on this route wasn't anything special; just a couple of ExpressJet E1...

^If people in CLE or destined to CLE from the west use this over UA's DEN hub for connections, we may see increased frequencies on DL's CLE-SLC as people can more easily jump ship from UA. I'll bet the Delta Medallion folks located in CLE are cheering this... now they will have less connections to ...

I just flew CLE>DFW on the Super 80 this week both ways. Surely a welcome site to see the 319's. I would also add the Terminal C and A in DFW are much worse than CLE. Sometimes, we're a bit hard on ourselves in this forum. Good to see AA upping their game in CLE with DFW, NYC adds. Terminal A I wou...

Understand, hub closure was the express operation. UA mainline stayed more or less same size. This may indicate that is to change Not so sure about that... they've added mainline capacity between CLE and IAD for the first time in a long time... if there are reductions, I would imagine BOS and MKE c...

Some good and some bad in enilria's weekly post. Nice to see AA add a 5th CLE-DFW. And it should be noted that it is mainline (MD-80). In the summers on this route, there had been a fifth flight, but it departed super late (around 11:00 PM) and was on an ER-140. I fly this route all the time, and t...
